Investing equity capital into local communities

Chris Coles writes: "Local community equity capital investment into new start-up companies has effectively ceased to exist and today, instead of arms length investment into essentially free companies, all institutional investment is predicated towards sweeping any new company into the arms of a larger competitor by a process called Mergers and Acquisition, (M&A). This is not free market capitalism; it is a form of corporate slavery. It is my contention that the core reason for the collapse of the present system is our failure to create a free marketplace for capital. And yes! The present system is not a free marketplace and exhibits all the elements of a monopolistic feudal system. My new book will show you all how I have come to reach that conclusion, what rules need introducing to create a basic structure to support the required flow of new capital. I also set out in detail a debate about the various aspects of how we should view the function of capital markets from now onwards. You will also discover that I also open an essential debate about the need for government, the font of all law, to always act to the highest ethical standards. The full book is 144 pages and there is a separate Précis that gives a two page executive summary and a 44 page précis covering the main aspects of the debate. Both PDF files are presented as free downloads.
